    Default Wade & Butcher FBU

    An early FBU I believe. Maybe 1830 - 40. Lots of patina (corrosion) and a fair amount of hone wear. Restored to the original glazed type finish. The broken and cracked scales were repaired and re-dyed. Big beautiful original brass beehive collars and the original lead wedge. A couple before pictures and in process off the 400 grit belt and the bevel set on a 1K.

    Karl, what a wonderful restoration.

    I have a W&B FBU that I restored, but my work pales in comparison to yours. I am envious of your skills.
